I'm officially nervous!! I just realized that today I am 30 weeks pregnant. Which also means, if I go my full 40 weeks I only have 10 weeks left to prepare for this baby!! I still have so much to do. Her room is not organized! None of her clothes or blankets are washed! We haven't had a single shower yet and we have no bottles and only 1 pack of diapers! I've been holding back buying anything because we're having a couple of showers and I wanted to wait until after those to see what we have left to buy. But suddenly I'm terrified that I'm not going to have everything she needs! Maybe from now on, every week when I go grocery shopping I should buy a pack of diapers in various sizes just to stock up? I worry that since we are having a girl, all we will get at showers is cutesy clothes. Because who doesn't want to buy pretty clothes for a little girl? And really clothes is the last thing we need! We've gotten lots of hand me downs from friends and if you didn't already know, I have turned our little house into a clothing shop and have been sewing little girl dresses like mad for weeks! My first show is this coming Saturday, October 24th in Loachapoka, Alabama. I'm praying that it goes well and I at least break even on the booth rental.
Adding to my stress is the fact that Scott had the official start of production at Kia on Friday. He has been working 12 hour days Monday through Friday and a full 8 hour day on Saturdays for a few weeks. But starting this week, he will also be working on Sundays. While we are both thankful for the overtime and extra money before Georgia Lou gets here, we also have so much to do at the house that isn't getting done because when he is finally home, he's so tired he doesn't want to do anything but eat, shower and sleep. I just worry that this trend will continue once Georgia Lou is here and she will hardly get to see her daddy.
On the bright side, Georgia Lou gained a cousin last week!! On Thursday, October 15th, Noah Patrick Shell arrived weighing 7 lbs, 5 ozs and was 20 inches long. He has lots of dark hair and long feet for such a little baby. But is anyone surprised when his Daddy wears size 15s? He is the prettiest baby boy I've ever seen but I'm sure I'm a little biased about it. But here, you can see for yourself:
